Anotations

Scope note:

Cases made for storing photographs, particularly the distinctive cases made in the 19th century and early 20th centuries for display on table tops. The box is often made of wood, metal, or another material, open at the top, and often with feet and handles, constructed for storing the photographs vertically. There may be a decorative opening at the front and back of the box to allow a photograph to be displayed. The term may also be used for modern boxes that serve the same purpose, even if they are of a different design.
